Western retailer Kapital prices are kind of nuts. Century denim is amazing, I am excited to get more. no5 trucker 🫠
g2x222

same thing w/ most jp brands
Gideo
Gideo16mo ago
true
g2x222
g2x22216mo ago
price bump for exclusivity, plus another for all the import taxes etc i'm ok w/ it, makes it easier to get stuff for a relatively good deal via proxy (or nowadays, some jp retailers are shipping internationally) otherwise you end up like iron heart cheaper in japan, but they have price agreements and sales territories set with different retailers, so you have to pay the US/UK/whatever prices if you're in those countries
Gideo
Gideo16mo ago
i think it’s more so the price bump/low volume stocks over tariff costs since many products are still made in jp vs cn. pricing agreements makes sense when i see all retailers selling the same piece of the same price can’t wait to go back to japan and grab some pieces! proxying has been great for me too
g2x222
g2x22216mo ago
yeah when i went last (2018), kapital had three stores in ebisu alone, all within a 2-3min walk

ooo, i’d love to see that!
g2x222
g2x22216mo ago
nothing is really cheap, but jp brands are ofc cheaper there than here (plus the tax discount), so my (very broken) brain says it's a great deal

I do have a space in my wardrobe for some corduroy haha. I don’t have any kountry stuff unfortunately but I have some lingering desires for the patched snufkin Me too, i’ll likely pickup a century jacket in the future

i wish the climate in LA was more forgiving for a century denim suit. i really appreciate how they dont look v heritage cosplay when worn together their recent collections haven’t been very enticing overall tho?

yea the hype cycle is partially to blame for all the bandana, patchwork denim, fleeces, and skull pieces that comprise the majority of the secondhand market. they’re very streetwear adjacent. 2015-2018 was a cool time for the brand and imo they lost their magic when they left their wheelhouse of freakamericana and got bigger (as all successful brands would)

@smiles . Kapital pieces on average with western retailers markup are really high, like a $200 USD piece would sell for near $500. Not a rep expert but this was a resource that’s really great from Reddit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YQ8Jp4o1qnK-dfbk_ESeCE6nAxPivoA3174pPXkJELU/edit Someone compiled a list of common offenders, ways to help navigate the second hand market and ensure you get legit pieces. Typically popular pieces, ranging from fleeces, to ring coats, bandana jackets, denim pants get copied a lot so it’s always good to investigate tell-tale signs or see if pictures are reused. Another point: I think the century denim stuff would be harder to fake, or I’ve never seen fake ones online. I believe Kapital has some proprietary loom to get the sashiko effect on the pants, and in addition to the stitching you’ll notice a unique pattern from them as well. Pants procured from the Kapital Legs shop can also be stamped inside with a date or purchase and later revisions or dyes to the same pants at these locations can collect more stamps 🙂 Hope this helps!

I want to say the waist on the 34s measures about 32 but I'm not home so I can't check. I had a pair of 32s that technically fit but felt a bit tight because they were the slim cut.
KenD

My older pair of 34s have shrunk after some time and are probably closer to a 30-31 now (80 cm across the waist). These were slim cut tho - my 1-2-3s are perfect at size 34

Kapital's US pricing is borderline criminal, but the attention to detail and quality of their stuff has always impressed me, and they're savants with their fits and cuts. I'd recommend going somewhere to try some on and handle their stuff, I would 100% own Kapital things if I could easily find them at Japanese prices.

I bought a jean version of the ring jacket earlier this year, but similar to the robot I find it too fiddly and rarely reach for it. Thought I would love all the possibilities but always feel like I am adjusting something or it's not draped or folded how I would like. Probably equally as much a - me having a hard time embracing chaos/drape/big - thing vs a reality of the actual coat.

If I wanted to buy these at a physical kapital store in Tokyo which one would be my best bet? https://www.kapital-webshop.jp/category/W_DRESS_JUMPSUIT/EK1439.html

I’d suggest sending them a DM on IG to see if they have stock The Ebisu stores were only a block away from each other when I went last year

Time to wash these boys. Would you all recommend the tub or washing machine method
mattw2
mattw24mo ago
Cold wash hang dry has never caused me issues with my kapital denim (including century denim)
twilight
twilight4mo ago
Hmm good to know. I’ve been doing the tub method for the last few years but I don’t think it works that well for light colors
s stands for nothing
Ain’t no one got time to wash stuff in the tub

wash them like jeans if you're worried about shrinkage, then baby them during the dry phase. if not, double machine
twilight
twilight4mo ago
I wash my jeans in the tub that’s why I asking lol. Not too happy with the results lately tho. Not worried about shrinking just messing up the fit, build, or quality

In Tokyo in a few weeks. Any guidance on which store is the best to hit, any rarities I should be looking at? I'm considering the paisley dragger coat and some century denim.

mattw25w ago
Ginza for denim, daikanyama for duffle and the main store.
Elvander
Elvander5w ago
What's different in the duffle store? I've seen the tag on some pieces but I don't know the specifics

I know there was a recent restock but it is quite hard to find the larger sizes, they sell out pretty quick! Tokyo has multiple locations and I would recommend the Ebisu location as they have 3 stores near each other vs Roppongi’s 2 and Ginza’s 1. I’ve visited around 7 stores and there really isn’t a vast difference between them with regard to item offerings. Some stores may have some past season things but generally could find many of the same things across each place. I recommended Ebisu because I really enjoy this neighborhood and the Legs location there has a quick hemming service.

Does anyone order this stuff in the US? The prices seem insanely inflated vs JP prices it makes it hard to reasonably want to buy it
kyn
kyn4w ago
can u be more precise like do people pay us retail? Yes do people proxy it from Japan? Also yes
s stands for nothing
Also massive second hand interest
kyn
kyn4w ago
I’m lucky in that some dude offloaded his entire collection to my local secondhand streetwear joint and I’m just slowly buying it :sunglas:
Gideo
Gideo4w ago
yes, stockists will put them on sale. I've seen sale prices reach retail JP prices. Proxy services will only net modest savings, but otherwise secondhand market locally can be quite alright. ime, secondhand prices are similar to JP retail even though they've been worn significantly lol
LeoDiCap
LeoDiCap4w ago
I really want one of the fleeces but the prices are crazy on things like canoe club And the century denim gawddamn What do you guys use for secondhand? I can't seem to find much on Poshmark or eBay
Smiles
Smiles4w ago
Don't buy the fleece secondhand lol It will be fake Well you better be very good at spotting fakes rather

grailed has decent deals on cd if you are patient

yahoo japan via a proxy service like Buyee, Zenmarket
LeoDiCap
LeoDiCap4w ago
Just feels a bit silly to get bent over by the stockists
s stands for nothing
fleeces are all fake stay away but there is also a ton of cool stuff which is not hyped
LeoDiCap
LeoDiCap4w ago
Any pointers in that direction? Stuff to look out for second hand maybe 🤔
s stands for nothing
just stay away from anything with bandanas, the fleeces, anything with skeletons, probably a few more things im forgetting about
kyn
kyn4w ago
Def the skeletons Some of the drunk stripe Someone here got a fake of that once
LeoDiCap
LeoDiCap4w ago
Hm so the cool stuff lol Unless there is cool stuff I'm missing out on
kyn

Kapital does a lot of shit A lot of it is cool Also stay away from cheap boro lmao
Spuck

also the kountry hats, piles of fake ones

Loads of the smiley stuff is faked too.

And bandanas
TheComebackKid
Trust me US retailers are not trying to get a buck off you It costs a literal fortune to import their stock from Japan
Legs
Legs4w ago
If you're trying to get rich fast, selling niche menswear brands is a bad way to do it. As high as the markup is outside Japan, prices wouldn't be so similar from retailer to retailer if they were taking in most of that markup as profit.
TheComebackKid
Yeah the markup can be hard to stomach sometimes but imo if you’re shopping online with a store based in the US what you’re paying for is faster shipping times and the ability to return or exchange it if there are any problems And if its a store you can visit in person, you’re paying for the ability to see it for yourself and walk out the door with it
Legs
Legs4w ago
Not to mention customer support with someone fluent in your native language. I've gotten some stuff proxied from yahoo japan before and had the chance to visit Kapital Osaka in person while on vacation once, but it's very reassuring to trust that the person understands your questions and that you understand his/her answers about sizing/shrinkage/etc before you drop hundreds of dollars on an item. (Obviously no shade to the Osaka employees who spoke infinitely better English than I did Japanese)

Ive heard that Kapital is pretty ruthless with discounts and stuff too. Stores cant mark down kapital too much or they risk losing their contract

Can anyone comment on how itchy their wool scarves are? I found a pattern that would fit my gf really well but she's generally sensitive to wool and wouldn't wear anything itchier then say a basic merino sweater. I'll probably swing by my local stockist later this week but figured I'd ask here first.
Elvander
Elvander4w ago
I don't find the wool scarves itchy at all but I'm not particularly sensitive to wool I have three of the boiled wool, I love them.

Seems like not the best material for a ring vcoat. Part of the charm, for me at least, is how well they drape
